Mosquitall Is King!
I took a look at the plug-in mosquito repellent device last night and realized that the "cartridge" I'd put in was spent. I'd looked at it a few times during the week, but for some reason I kept thinking that the cartridge would disappear on its own, and since I saw something in there, I didn't change it. Last night's inspection revealed that it had changed from yellow to white. Woops.
I put a new cartridge in and plugged the device into the socket about a foot away from my pillow. A couple hours later, I went to sleep. At first, I was antsy. I kept expecting to get buzzed and dive bombed. But then, nothing. My mind wandered and soon I was asleep.
I slept soundly the entire night. Not a single buzz. Toward morning, I woke up and heard a buzz a few feet away (but still not really close). I checked the cartridge, and it was over half spent. Ah, I see. I'll have to remember to put a new one in before I go to bed tonight.
I have three new bites on my right leg and foot. I think I stuck my leg out from under the covers last night. No biggie.
As I was falling asleep last night, I thought, you know, I wouldn't mind mosquitoes so much if their bites didn't itch. And if they didn't buzz in my ear. And if they didn't carry diseases in some parts of the world. Hrm, okay, maybe they really should die.
Bite count: 44.

I'm thinking we'll find you some mosquito netting to drape around the bed before your next trip, if you have to go back.

Well, it's okay, now that I've figured out how to use the Mosquitall. It drove all the skeeters out of the room! Not a bite in two days!
